FLYNY2010 - Sky Mirrors
Firm
"Sky Mirror", made of five flat 24" faceted mylar panels connected by
nearly invisible translucent zip-tie hinges (a rather humble detail that
took days to figure out- it's always the simple solutions that are
the hardest to arrive at). Sky Mirror is inspired by the work of artists
such as Olafur Eliasson who create interventions that disrupt or reveal
natural phenomena. The kite is highly reflective, which makes it almost
invisible in flight. It mirrors the sky (not the ground below) because
of the way the kite string loops around the facets, turning the panels
out when the wind blows- it looks like a silvery cloud. The kite also
reflects the sun, creating ribbons of reflected light on the ground that
look like glowing smoke.
